The point was, not that I am a proponent of this is, the 1st world nations devote most of its arable land to crops that strictly feed livestock, i.e meat production.
I can understand the argument, use more cropland for basic food stuffs Wheat, Rye, Barley ect, and less for Corn, Sorgum, and Soy. Furthermore, there are still massive tracts of land in the American south dedicated strictly for timber production, although the soil is not the best 'clay' with modern tech, it could be very productive farm land. Personally, i like my pork chops and beef sirloin, and would rather keep them at its current cost. My "aunt in law" worked for the U.N as a aid worker in Ghana, and the few times we've talked, it confirms Vraciu's previous statement.
